Hey everyone on one of the other forums that I am on someone posted about doing Free AutoChecks. I did a few tests and it actually works, so if you are someone who is going to buy a used vehicle and don't want to fork the cash over for carfax then check this out


http://www.lincolnde...Code=07934&VIN=

Just enter your vin number after the = sign, and bam. Free autocheck. Just try not to abuse it. I would like for it to be around for a while. It is handy to have access to. It is a full report tells you when and where it was registered since it was new. Just about everything Carfax will tell you.

i have a 79 bronco. it had a 351m c6. It caught on fire the other night and burnt really bad. it had a 6inch trailmaster lift which was not damaged and the body is not rusted badly yet. how much would this be worth if i sold. also bout how much would it be worth if i took to scrap yard.

I think ive been bitten by the new (used) vehicle bug.

Only problem is that i cant find anything i like better than my current DD, a 2004 reg cab f150. I want to replace it because it's just too small now that im married.

My criteria are:
4wd
Comfortably seat 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 60lb dogs
Tow rating of at least 8500lbs . I want to pull either a travel trailer or a 20-22 ft saltwater boat.
4 regular sized doors
fits in a standard sized parking garage
No diesel engines



Any ideas or suggestions?

jsut kinda always wondered this. all our OBD-I 95 and earlier trucks use KOER and KOEO tests and its usually quite helpfull for the abilities OBD-I has. Why doesnt OBD-II use any kind of KOER or KOEO to help find codes? when my friends want me to scan there codes, id like to be able to do a KOER test after clearing the codes to see if they come back. why doesnt OBD-II test like this?

I went and got a charcoal grill this year and took my 7 year old propane one to the scrap yard.

Been a long time since I had food grilled this good at home.

Yeah... Just a pipe dream but i like it...http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/922481_1

or can school me about filing a complaint?

Not asking for leagal advice, just advice/opinions. If interested see below, if not no hard feelings.

For perspective: I work on the road. (TV Truck) I'm gone between 285 and 300 days a year. My wife is left to handle the 3 kids and the home. She works part time at the local elementary school in the kitchen washing dishes. It's "seasonal" no big deal but gives here summers with the kids when they are out of school. Before she took the job last year she explained to her boss this situtation. When the kids are sick she is the one that has to take care of them and that I travel. We have no extended family or friends to watch the kids in this situtation. She ask specifically if that was going to be a problem. Her boss said no, that everyone understood that family came first.

Last spring one of our kids got sick for a couple of days (she only had one sick day acumulated). She provided the doctor letter etc. She was hauled in and written up for missing work. Her boss then began to tell her what she was to do with our children and how to run our household. That's where I got involved. I went to the b's boss and let him have it. Needless to say this caused more problems as she has rode my wife like a rented mule and is constantly threatening to terminate her, 3 times now in 12 months. Has falsified some docs to make my wife to have appeared late to work (no time clock to punch) Wife had witnesses to as to being on time but no one to stick up for her. There is much much more, but I shall spare you all the bordom.

Most of the time I would say screw it move on. However, this woman has sooooo pissed me off past the point of me being passive. Our paticular area there really arn't that many jobs and certainly none that work with our situtation like this one. Not to mention, we need the xtra income.

My personal opinion on this is that her boss is creating a hostile work enviorment. My research so far has led me to the first step of filing a complaint with the EEOC. They will then either mediate it or tell you whether you have or have not a leg to stand on in court.

This old man and his dog are stepping up to the line for our first agility competition trail of the year. :reckon

Who has one?

Been asked at work if I would be willing to get mine? They will be getting a new tractor/trailer by the end of the year and want me to drive it.

Question is....

Is it worth it, how hard is it to get?

I'd only get maybe $2 more an hour, but it comes with 5-10hr OT every week.

At my last job I drove them around the yard to fill up tankers, but never on the streets an its been about 6yrs.

Okay boys and girls, i have done a ton of research over the last few months trying to find replacement leather for a 1996 Eddie Bauer. There is a company I've found that will make them as long as i send them my seats so they have the correct pattern. The problem is this, they can't match the leather exactly with any of the new stuff on the market. They can however special order the leather to match but at a minimum they need to order 50 hides. (each hide works out o be 4 seat bottoms). So, how many of you would be interested in ordering new leather for your old Bronco? If we can get the numbers hi enough then we should be able to get these things going. He mentioned each piece would be about 200.

Im not sure what years these would fit but my 96 would be the pattern, if yours is the same pattern then we're good.

Also, these guys can do an entire King Ranch interior as well. If thats something you would be interested in let me know. If I'm not mistaken the king ranch for the 2 front seats and back bench will set ya back 2500. Little too much for my blood.

Thanks,

moderators feel free to move this to wherever.
